>>5616764So I really like the attention to historical details in your quest, just from a quick skim read-through your established world is very detailed, very immersive! But I am a fairly shallow visual reader hehe, I like graphics, pictures. I am not really an expert on WW1 though I was quite interested in synchronisation or interruptor gears firing through airplane propellers for machine guns hehe. Basically I like machine guns yay, WW1 grimdark aesthetics and I guess also the look of Aeronautica Imperialis (2007) in 40k lol
So what I would recommend would be you change nothing about your world or characters or story, but maybe just include some pictures of all these cool planes, names and factions to make it easier and more accessible to readers who are not that knowledgeable regarding the era and all the machines etc. just so they can visually leap into the setting faster.
You could invent a signature faction emblem for each world entity (just borrow / steal a real world historical one, invent a fantasy one etc) or even just a brief summary section that states just the fictional name and the real world counterpart inspirations (like what you already did above) so that anons who are interested can research the setting themselves independently. You could also include a brief portrait / short bio of the major characters sort of Baldurs Gate style lol just to give an approximate visual indication of what they look like and what faction affiliations / history they have or battle accolades etc. Because you have done a lot of the difficult work of worldbuilding already names characters locations etc., all this is really just admin work finding pictures to help a new or less knowledgeable player understand and appreciate your setting better.
You probably know more than I do about where to find pictures for WW1 aircraft, probably museum or war documentary footage, there are probably videogame simulators for screenshots or you can search models on 3d videogame asset stores I had a look around on artstation for aviation artists there is this person amongst many others no idea how accurate etc. (pic rel)
